UNC Asheville Foundation and TD Bank Agree to Sale/Purchase of Former Health Adventure Property; Transfer will be Combined Sale and Gift
Thu, 12/15/2011 - 8:32am
The UNC Asheville Foundation and TD Bank have signed a contract for the sale of land adjacent to the university that was formerly owned by the Health Adventure. The 8.9-acre property is located at the intersection of Broadway and Catawba streets.
The Health Adventure, a children's science museum, had planned to build a $25 million museum on the Broadway property. The organization broke ground for the project in 2008, but was unable to complete it and filed for bankruptcy in March 2011. TD Bank bought the property in a foreclosure auction in October.
The UNC Asheville Foundation will make the purchase. No state funds or student fees will be used. It is common practice for a university foundation to purchase land on behalf of the university and later transfer the land to the university. Details of the combined sale/gift will not be disclosed until it is finalized.
"This combined gift/sale helps assure a bright future for UNC Asheville, and we are grateful to TD Bank for creating this opportunity and providing a great example of how to be community-minded," said UNC Asheville Chancellor Anne Ponder.
"It is exceedingly rare for a large parcel of land adjacent to campus to come on the market," said Chuck Wood, UNC Asheville Foundation chair. "The UNC Asheville Foundation is very pleased to be able to secure the property for the university."
UNC Asheville does not have immediate plans to develop the land, but the size and location present a range of opportunities. When the sale is finalized, the use of the property will be determined through UNC Asheville's ongoing campus master planning process, and in consultation with the City of Asheville and the Montford neighborhood, said John Pierce, UNC Asheville vice chancellor for finance and operations.
"The university is committed to seeking input concerning development of the property from Montford residents and the Montford Neighborhood Association at all stages of the planning process," Pierce said.
UNC Asheville currently has little room for expansion. The remaining undeveloped property on campus would be difficult and costly to develop because it lacks flat building sites, he said.
UNC Asheville would like to complete the greenway segment planned for the property.
The university is in discussion with the City of Asheville regarding the location of the planned greenway segment along Reeds Creek, which would extend the existing greenway in the area. "The greenway contributes so much to the quality of life of our students and our community, and the completion of this segment will strengthen the university's connection to downtown Asheville," Pierce said.
UNC Asheville is also in discussion with RiverLink concerning fundraising for construction of the greenway segment. "RiverLink is excited about the opportunity to partner with UNC Asheville and the community to develop a greenway along this property, with an eye to eventually expanding and linking the UNC Asheville campus to the Wilma Dykeman RiverWay along the French Broad River and downtown," said Karen Cragnolin, RiverLink executive director.
More immediately, UNC Asheville would take measures to stabilize the infrastructure that had been partially developed by the Health Adventure. This would include repairing the drainage system, repairing and completing retaining walls, and planting ground cover to prevent erosion. The fencing around the property would be repaired and remain in place until further development occurs on the property.
"This purchase is fundamentally the right thing to do for the university and the community," said Sue McClinton, a member of UNC Asheville's Board of Trustees and former member of the UNC Asheville Foundation. "Even in difficult economic times, the university must always keep in mind the long-term future of the campus. Many families contributed to the Health Adventure project, both financially and with services. Considering the bankruptcy, this sale/gift brings these contributions back to serve the students of North Carolina. These same students will help ensure our future by enriching our communities."

Even though optical media is clunkier to use than hard drive, the cost situation has finally reversed since bd-r blanks are more economical today than hard drives, per GB. Plus, they offer EMP protection.
I wonder if Sony somehow made it flood in Maylasia (this made hard drive prices escalate 2 to 5 times higher).

Wrestling is hoping to be included into the 2020 Olympic Games. Rarely, if ever, has so much been on the line at a single Olympic meeting. When IOC members gather next week in Buenos Aires, Argentina, they will be faced with three decisions that will shape the direction of the Olympic movement for the next decade. At stake: Choosing the host city of the 2020 Olympics, electing a new IOC president to succeed Jacques Rogge and selecting one sport to add to the 2020 program. (AP Photo/Paul Sancya, File)

Gravy Boat
Napoli is a subtly decorated, hand-painted collection that evokes the light and colors of the coast of Italy. The soft palette of pale orange, yellow, rose, varying shades of blue and light green creates a bright, cheerful setting for any meal. A traditional oval-shaped gravy boat is an essential item no home should be without. Perfect for turkey gravy or hot maple syrup. Or for an unusual decorative accent, add greens, ribbons and small ornaments for a quick table accent. Microwave and dishwasher safe. Gravy boat holds 14 ounces.

Rated 5 out of 5 by MNDH LOVE THIS NAPOLI I got tired of all white dishes and fell in love with the Napoli line that i happened to see on a different site, and when I checked it out , here, i could not believe all the great items available for purchase! Anyway, I poured two cups, measured, into this boat and that was the exact amount that it holds without spilling. You could add a little more, even. Love the colors and it isn't real tippy nor as small as most of the gravy boats out there now, either. September 30, 2013

Thursday, April 24, 2014
By David Espo
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON – Prospects for a swift end to the 4-day-old partial government shutdown all but vanished Friday as lawmakers squabbled into the weekend and increasingly shifted their focus to a midmonth deadline for averting a threatened first-ever default.
Protesters hold signs during an event with the Democratic Progressive Caucus and furloughed federal employees on Capitol Hill in Washington on Friday as the budget battle continued.

House Speaker John Boehner of Ohio walks to a Republican strategy session on Capitol Hill in Washington, Friday, Oct. 4, 2013. Boehner is struggling between Democrats that control the Senate and GOP conservatives in his caucus who insist any funding legislation must also kill or delay the nation's new health care law. Added pressure came from President Barack Obama who pointedly blamed Boehner on Thursday for keeping federal agencies closed. (AP Photo/J. Scott Applewhite)
"This isn't some damn game," said House Speaker John Boehner, as the White House and Democrats held to their position of agreeing to negotiate only after the government is reopened and the $16.7 trillion debt limit raised.
House Republicans appeared to be shifting their demands, de-emphasizing their previous insistence on defunding the health care overhaul in exchange for re-opening the government. Instead, they ramped up calls for cuts in federal benefit programs and future deficits, items that Boehner has said repeatedly will be part of any talks on debt limit legislation.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., also said the two issues were linked. "We not only have a shutdown but we have the full faith and credit of our nation before us in a week or ten days," he said.
Reid and other Democrats blocked numerous attempts by Sen. Ted Cruz, a leading architect of the "defund Obamacare" strategy, to approve House-passed bills reopening portions of the government.
The Texas Republican said repeatedly Obama and Democrats were to blame for the impasse.
But Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich., likened the Republican strategy to "smashing a piece of crockery with a hammer, gluing two or three bits back together today, a couple more tomorrow, and two or three more the day after that."
For all the rhetoric, there was no evident urgency about ending the partial shutdown before the weekend.
The Republican-controlled House arranged to vote on legislation providing funds for disaster assistance, then for the Women's, Infants and Children nutrition program.
Saturday's agenda called for passing a bill to assure post-shutdown pay for an estimated 800,000 furloughed federal employees off the job since mid-day Tuesday, then turning off the lights on the House floor until Monday night to allow lawmakers to fly home for two days.
After issuing a string of veto threats against GOP spending bills, the White House did not object to the one to assure pay for furloughed employees.
There was no doubt about the political underpinnings of the struggle. Democrats and most Republicans have assumed the GOP would be hurt by a shutdown, citing the impact of the last episode, in 1996.
But Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., said of Democrats, "I don't think they've poll tested 'we won't negotiate. I think it's awful for them to say that over and over again." His words recorded on videotape, he said, "I think if we keep saying we wanted to defund it (the new health care law), we fought for that and now we're willing to compromise on this we're going to win this, I think."
The shutdown caused the White House to scrub a presidential trip to Asia, and the Bureau of Labor Statistics delayed its customary monthly report on joblessness as impacts of the partial shutdown spread.
According to warnings by the administration and Wall Street, failure to raise the debt limit, by contrast, had the potential to destablize financial markets and inflict harm on the economy quickly.
Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew has said that unless Congress acts, the government will be unable to pay all its debts and will run the risk of default. He has urged lawmakers to act by Oct. 17.
Debt limit bills typically pass first in the House, then move to the Senate. So far, neither Boehner nor the rest of the leadership has said when they expect to draft and have a vote on one. More than a week ago, they circulated a list of items that might be included— calls for higher Medicare costs for better-off seniors, a wholesale easing of environmental regulations and approval of the Keystone Pipeline among them.

Kiki and Maki Introduce Gambrinus Juicy Citrus to the Market
27 March 2013
Plzeň, March 26, 2013 – The most successful Czech beach volleyball duo Kiki and Maki will take part in advertising the mixed beer drink Gambrinus Flavoured, which is made without additional preservatives or artificial sweeteners. After last year's success of Gambrinus Lime & Elderberry and Gambrinus Crisp Lemon, a new variety of Gambrinus, Juicy Citrus, is coming to the market.
Gambrinus Juicy Citrus
This is the third flavour variety. "The favourite flavour among consumers is lemon, and citrus is right behind. These do very well, even in our internal surveys," Miroslav Peichl points out. The drink has a lower level of alcohol. The taste of the popular Gambrinus beer and fruit juice is well-balanced. It will be introduced to the market in cans on March 25.
Commencement of cooperation with Kiki and Maki
In March, Gambrinus Flavoured commenced cooperation with the most successful beach volleyball duo Kristýna Kolocová and Markéta Sluková, better known as Kiki and Maki. "It is a logical fusion. The members of the Czech national beach volleyball team, clearly a summer sport, and Gambrinus Flavoured, a drink made especially for refreshment during the hot summer days, go together. Together with Kiki and Maki, we are starting a project called "A Year with Kiki and Maki." During this season, their fans will have a chance to follow their training, their preparation, matches, and what they do during their time off the field. Via short video clips, Kiki and Maki will guide fans through all their tournaments and share their experiences," said Miroslav Peichl. From March 26, a special microsite will be dedicated to the project, and so will some other activities on the Facebook page of Gambrinus Flavoured.
Gambrinus Flavoured does not limit its activities to cooperation with Kiki and Maki. During the summer, it will draw attention at selected festivals and other events using its Mighty Fruity Gang. These are personalities representing some of the flavours. Their goal is to support mixed beer drinks that are preservative-free and do not contain any artificial sweeteners and thus deliver the best refreshment.
A new, attractive design
All varieties of the Gambrinus Flavoured family will be offered in cans with a new, attractive design. "Mixed-drink consumers make their decision based on flavours. To reflect that, we have prepared a new design for all our varieties so they can be easily recognised from the first look," Miroslav Peichl explained.
A short announcement: Gambrinus Flavoured is expanding its family of low-alcohol-content mixed beer drinks. A novelty is Gambrinus Juicy Citrus, a well-balanced taste of the popular Gambrinus beer and citrus juice. It is the continuation of two popular drinks, Gambrinus Lime & Elderberry and Gambrinus Crisp Lemon, which are sought after especially for their refreshing taste. The drink does not contain any preservatives or artificial sweeteners. The duo of two young beach volleyball players, Kiki and Maki, are supporting the drink as well.

Notes for editors:
- Gambrinus Premium beer was the only Czech beer awarded at The International Brewing Awards 2013, an international tasting competition known among beer brewers as the Brewing Oscars. Forty brew masters from 16 countries evaluated more than 800 beers from all around the world. Gambrinus Premium won the silver medal in the Classic Lager category.
- The wide portfolio of Gambrinus brands consists of Gambrinus Original 10°, Gambrinus 11° Excellent, Gambrinus Premium light lager, and Gambrinus Dry with a low sugar content.
- Since 2012, Gambrinus added Gambrinus Crisp Lemon and Gambrinus Lime & Elderberry to its portfolio. These are mixed beer drinks. They are typical for lower alcohol content and a refreshing taste.
- Thanks to following the original brewing recipes typical for Czech beer and to using traditional Czech beer brewing materials, Gambrinus is entitled to use the quality trademark "Czech Beer."
- The history of the Gambrinus brand goes back to 1869. Gambrinus is the beer that won the hearts and minds of its consumers thanks to its high quality and preservation of original brewing procedures.
- Gambrinus is part of the Plzeňský Prazdroj Inc. portfolio. PP is member of SABMiller plc. With its total sales of nearly 9.9 million hectolitres during the calendar year of 2011 (including licensed production abroad) and with exports to more than 50 countries worldwide, Plzeňský Prazdroj Inc. is the preeminent beer producer in the region and the biggest exporter of the Czech beer.
- SABMiller plc. is one of the world's biggest beer-brewing companies, with beer-brewing activities or distribution in more than 60 countries across six continents. The SABMiller portfolio includes important international brands such as Grolsch, Miller Genuine Draft, Peroni Nastro Azzurro, and Pilsner Urquell, as well as almost 200 successful regional and national brands.
This SABMiller subsidiary news release has been translated from its local market language to English language for publication on www.sabmiller.com. We have attempted to provide an accurate translation of the original material but due to the difficulties of translation slight differences may exist.
Note, the news release was first published in its local market on 26th March 2013.

|#shareyourcircles I have only been on Google+ for a few months but have enjoyed it thoroughly. I have been thinking about sharing a circle but I have resisted the hubris of pretending to know what I am talking about. I have chosen to share a circle of Northwest Photographers (US). These are my neighbors and I have loved watching them photograph so beautifully the people and places that someday I hope to be able photograph with even a tenth of their artistry and skill.All that being said it made me think we should all be sharing a circle once and a while. #Shareyourcircles is your opportunity to share any of your circles great or small. My version of #FF in twitter speak. I would love to see your boutique circles. I may not be interested in Tibetan Macro Photographers but I don't know that until I look at your circle. Include yourself or don't it's just a wonderful way to tell someone that you enjoy their work enough to tell their friends about it.This is a small circle and clearly it isn't exhaustive. If you are a photographer or know one that I should add please let me know. BTW if you are in the share and don't live in the Northwest (Oregon, Washington, BC (Canada) or Alaska I am sorry but I guess I am enjoying your work anyway because you are still in the circle albeit in the wrong context. Happy Sharing

|My very own selection of photographers – September 2012I am extremely selective on Google+ and here are the photographers who have impressed me the most in over a year. This is not about quantity but about quality.Most of them are street photographers but there are also a few specialists of landscapes, photo manipulation and nature.This circle should give you a lot of inspiration for your next photo shoots.I hope you'll enjoy it. If you do, don't hesitate to share it, some of them definitely deserve to be more famous!

Dear +Vic Gundotra,
Google+ is positioning itself firmly as the social network of choice for creators. Google Photos makes it not just easy, it makes it fun to share my work. Your last Google+ presentation was all about photography.
But there's something else happening. More and more users on this network are nothing but resharers of copyrighted content. Not that this doesn't happen on Tumblr, Pinterest, Facebook, or anywhere else, but Google+ is somewhat unique in a few ways.
Not the least of which is your reaction to and (dare I say it) tacit support of content theft.
Stolen images can only be reported as stolen by the person who took the original image. Somewhere deep inside me a snarky curmudgeon wonders if that's a ploy to get more people to sign up for Google Plus. But this community, as you well know being the network for creators, relies on friendly mutua... more »

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year
to all our friends and followers.
I hope to be able to give an update soon why I have not been active here for some time. Unfortunately there are several issues in our way right now.
We are still doing major upgrades to our website - please come and visit once a while, even when I'm not active here right now.
Thank you for all your support in 2012.

I finally had time to get one more photo ready for you.
It is the always fascinating silhouette of Monument Valley during sunrise.
I was looking for something different of Monument Valley. Most of the time photos featuring single buttes or looking down into the valley but hardly ever someone gets the "feeling" how the landscape looks in total.
So I decided to get further away to photograph the silhouette at sunrise. I'm always most fascinated by view when getting closer to the Valley, if you had a chance to visit Monument Valley you will know what I mean.
Anyway, I photographed this panorama with my Fuji 617 on Fuji Velvia film and now scanned it with the Hasselblad X5 (Imacon) scanner.
This image looks amazing as a large print, it always sucks me right in when I look at it. Hope you like it!

Happy Easter to everybody.
As you can see, I'm still not able to post much at this stage. Maybe I'm able to post a new picture tomorrow for #NatureMonday .
I want to introduce you to +Jen Baptist, Jen will help me curating #NatureMonday in the future. I'm very happy to have her onboard, especially right now when I can't be as involved as I would like to be. Jen will also do the G-Page.
Please submit your best Nature photos to #NatureMonday , what we would like to see are beautiful, relaxing quality nature images to give people on G+ a good relaxing start for the new week.
I hope you all enjoying great holidays. I hope I will be back soon.

Today I want to introduce you to one of my favorite photos of Mount McKinley with alpenglow. It is a 6x12 panorama photo originally captures with a large format 5x7 Sinar camera with a pano film holder, Fuji Velvia 220 and now scanned with the high res Hasselblad (Imacon) X5 scanner.
I photographed in fall on a warm'ish morning above Wonder Lake. It was magically being here all by myself sharing the wilderness with moose, caribou, bears and wolves - it was simply amazing.
As always, please find a larger version as well as my blog write up about this image on my website, and more panorama photos here:

Northern lights dancing above mountains in the Brooks Range, Alaska.
This is another medium format scan, original format 4.5x6cm, Fuji Provia, Hasselblad X5.
I won't be very active again this week as it looks like right now - we spend Sunday in hospital and our son got another virus, a nasty one. We still hope he gets right fast but our hope is fading after being sick almost all the time for over 8 weeks - very frustrating but I guess nothing really we can change right now.
If you interested in more of my northern light pictures please have a look at my website:
Anyway, I want to contribute this image to several photo themes again:

I want to wish you all a great weekend - Thanks for checking out my photos!!
Had time to do another scan. This photo is originally photographed in the format 6x7cm with a Mamiya RZ67 (Fuji Provia, Hasselblad X5 scanner). It was featured on one of my high quality poster series back in Europe. it is up to date one of my favorite bear photograph - simply because the quality and details is unbelievable.
Right now it seems like being one of those times when I have to work 4x as much as normal to get 1/4 of income of normal - I really don't like those times, especially not when the kids getting teeth at the same time.
Because I'm not sure how much I will be able to show you next week I want to contribute this photo to more photo themes, even the ones which are coming up next week.

A picture with many elements - fitting to some different photo themes today.
Sunset behind the silhouette of Destruction Island Lighthouse with heavy wave action in the foreground and a huge sun fireball in the background.
I photographed this on a trip down the West Coast and started here on the Olympic Peninsula in Washington. I may said it a few times already but the Olympic Peninsula and the National Park is one of my favorite travel locations in the Pacific Northwest.
I was working a bit on my new free wallpapers and computer backgrounds in the last few days and "stumbled" over this image which I overlooked for some time.
If you using wallpapers on your computer please have a look at my collection I just put together for the topic "sunset backgrounds". All my high resolution computer backgrounds are... more »

I got no idea how I ever catch up with work, it is getting more and more to deal with. Sorry for not being able to be more active right now here on G+.
I at least want to contribute to my own theme today: #TravelPanoWednesday
It is a panorama photo of the Quirpon Island Lighthouse. I would guess that most of you never heard about it. It is located on the Great Northern Peninsula in Newfoundland, overlooking the Strait of Belle Isle and the Labrador Sea. it is an amazing place but can be bitter cold in the winter.
I wrote a little story about my experience when I was out here for you if someone wants to know a bit more about the experience. You also can find more of my panorama photos here:

Sometimes I feel a little bit home sick for the city of Freising which I was born and raised. Freising is a little city with about 48000 people, located 35Km north of Munich. it is a beautiful city and got a lot of attention through a visit from Pope Benedict XVI a few years back.
The Pope was appointed Archbishop of Munich and Freising in 1977.
Freising is not far away from the Munich Airport, in fact the airport is much closer to Freising then it is to Munich. if you make it to there make sure you have at least one day to check out Freising, there is lots to see. No wonder, the history goes back to 996 when Freising was given the right to be a city.

Storm clouds over the Tuscany countryside.
I hope you all had a great weekend. I'm starting my week with this contribution to #NatureMonday which I curate myself (right now I'm not finding lots of time for it - sorry).
I think it also fits well to #MoodyMonday by +Philip Daly and to #MinimalMonday by +Olivier Du Tré.
I was doing some processing work on some of my background pictures (wallpapers) and this one can be found in the sub category for "sky backgrounds".

photo of vertical flowing water lit up by a sun rays in Parque Nacional De Ordesa Y Monte Perdido, Aragon, Spain.
I thought this would be a nice contribution today for #FlowingWaterFriday which is curated by myself and +Kate Church (when we both half way fit), I also think it fits well to #FourSeasonsFriday by +Karin Nelson and +Stephonie Ogden.
I'm still very busy catching up after being sick for weeks, it is quite scary to see how far one gets behind if he can only work 50% of normal, it takes weeks to catch up.
I wish you all a great weekend and hope everybody is well. We are still waiting for spring here and for the rain to stop, hopefully this will happen soon, it has been a long and very wet winter here.

Another free high resolution computer background (wallpaper).
A dramatic sunsets with beautiful clouds and sun rays over the pacific Ocean, Cormorant Island and Vancouver Island in British Columbia, Canada.
When we are out photographing whales we often come home fairly late but we often see incredible sunsets on the way home. I must say that the sunsets I have seen here on northern Vancouver Island have blown me away many times. NO, there are no filters used on this shot, not even a neutral grad was needed, it was just a "perfect" sunset after a long day out on the water.
I just started a new page on my website with free high resolution pictures which you can use (private use only) as a computer background wallpaper...I think I got a good start so far...much more to come:

My contribution for #TravelPanoWednesday come from New Zealand today.
It is a panorama of a swing bridge over the Hollyford River which cuts through pure nature and a very beautiful rainforest in Fiordland National Park, New Zealand.
I captured this photo while it was raining, my preferred time to photograph rivers and rainforest because the colors are most of the time totally different and more beautiful then they are when it is overcast or sunny.
I photographed this picture with my Fuji 617 on Fuji Velvia film, then scanned it with the Hasselblad X5 (Imacon) high res scanner.
If you interested in more of my panorama photos, please have a look at my website:

if you like wallpapers...this one is available as a high resolution wallpaper on my website.
We finally doing better with our health but I'm soooo far behind work that I don't know if I ever catch up again.
I think this image may fits to #TextureLibraryTuesday by +Joerg Jung.

First of all today I want to welcome all my new friends here - thanks for following!
I wasn't able to be very active, we had another baby end of October and in the last 4 weeks we have been all pretty sick. Now I sure hope that "things go back to normal again.
I was able to do a scan last night, so I want to contribute this picture today #NatureMonday which I curate myself. It is a Canadian icon, Moraine Lake near lake Louise in Banff National Park in the canadian Rockies in Alberta.
I photographed this beautiful lake a few years back with my 4x5" camera on Fuji Velvia film, now I scanned it on the Hasselblad X5 (Imacon) scanner.
It is difficult to show you how many details are in this picture but let me tell you it is incredible when you see the original. I honestly miss the times when I was shooting more 4x5's. I had this... more »

We are slowly getting sick of being sick, getting a bit better but still ways from being well - hope to be able to catch up next week with you.
My submission today to #FlowingWaterFriday by +Kate Church and myself is the bottom part of a small waterfall, another noname waterfall from the Great Baer Rainforest along the British Columbia coast.
The other theme I want to contribute that picture to is #FourSeasonsFriday by +Karin Nelson and +Stephonie Ogden that waterfall will be only there in spring when we have lots of rain.
I wish you all a great weekend - sorry I can't be more active right now.

Still having a sick house - not sure when we return to normal. I must say this is sure a challenge with two sick kids at the same time, it also does not help when parents sick too.
So I will contribute a picture today which fits to some more themes.
Panorama photo of a small waterfall inside a rainforest on the Haida Gwaii Islands in British Columbia, Canada.
I photographed this panorama with my Fuji 617 in the format 6x17cm on Fuji Velvia and now I scanned it with the Hasselblad X5 (Imacon) Scanner.
The "soft flowing" water was created with a very long exposure time, because the flowing part of the water is fairly small in the full picture I wanted to make the water very soft with a very long exposure time - I lost details in the water itself because of it but as said, I liked the super soft better then details in the... more »

Need to do a fast contribution to photo themes today.
We had a nightmare weekend with both babies sick and a hospital visit. Seems to settle down now but will take a few days to return to normal.
My contribution today to #NatureMonday which I curate myself ( maybe not today, will see later tonight) is a beautiful lake in southern British Columbia, Duffy Lake.
I think the photo also fits for other great themes which you should check out:

I'm reading so much about "what is fine art" right now that I can't even find the time to read it all. There is a great discussion started from +Charles Lupica here:
and I can see clearly that there are many opinions out there.
What I would like to start is a online discussion putting photos side by side and let people describe why or why not they would call this "fine art" or not.
If someone is interested in it please leave a comment here indicating that you want to take part in it. If we get enough people together I will start a weekly or monthly "thingy" were we will compare images.
Do you like the idea??

Frozen ice and flowing water is a great combination to photograph. This is my contribution today for #FlowingWaterFriday curated by +Kate Church and myself.
I photographed this scenic waterfall in Austria in the Salzburger Land, the waterfall is called Leitenkammerklamm and is quite tricky to get to in winter.
A couple of our good friends from Germany took us here to share this beautiful location with us. I wanted to make sure that the flowing water under the ice will come out, with the long exposure it shows up nicely right where the ice hits the pool under the the frozen waterfall.
Because it involves travel I also see this as a getaway destination, so I also want to contribute this photo to #FridayGetaway curated by +Gary Crabbe.
I'm not sure how much I will be able to curate my theme today, our boy got a nasty stomach... more »

gosh, what a frustrating day. I did not have any internet here till the afternoon - very frustrating.
Anyway, late but not too late is my contribution to #TravelPanoWednesday curated by myself. That picture shows the best what I need - holidays!
I think I can say it is a classic holiday location shot, palm trees with a scenic sunset, I photographed it in the Dominican Republic. I used my Fuji 617 with format 6x17cm, used Fuji Velvia film and then scanned the photo with my Hasselblad (Imacon) X5 scanner.

My contribution today for #NatureMonday which I curate myself comes from the badlands in southern Saskatchewan in Canada.
It is a hdr photo of Castle Butte, a major landmark in an area which is mostly flat. I would consider Castle Butte as one of the highlights from that area and it is a must see when you somewhere close.
The Big Muddy Badlands are an very interesting area with some amazing places to photograph, like Castle Butte.
I thought this would be a great image today for NatureMonday and I hope it will give you all a great start into the new week. many of you are probably off work today - enjoy your day and I hope you all have a great week.
This picture of Castle Butte is also available as a free hd wallpaper / computer background on my website.

Getting ready for the weekend with my contribution for #FlowingWaterFriday curated by +Kate Church and myself.
Red fall leaves beside a small stream with flowing water.
In the larger version you can see that the rock is covered with ice and the upper fall leave has some frost on it.
I photographed this photo on a very cold winter day and it was actually a big challenge to get to this spot because all the rocks around were super slippery.
I framed the photo fairly tight to counter balance the flowing water with the leaves, I actually like that the leaves are kind of framing the shot too. The light green moss on the top leave added a bit more color - it is one of my favorite color combinations - red and green.
I used obviously a long exposure to "soften" the water and to give it a bit of extra "flowing".... more »

Something abstract today for #ThirstyThursdayPics by +Giuseppe Basile.
Champagne Pool, volcanic hot springs at the Wai-o-tapu scenic reserve in Rotorua on the North Island of New Zealand.
Wai-o-tapu is without doubt one of the most visited areas in New Zealand but also one of the most interesting places to watch volcanic activity. There is lots of interesting stuff to photograph but champagne pool is a absolute must. The different colors and forms are fascinating.
I think this image also fits today to #LongExposureThursday by +Le Quoc and +Francesco Gola and of course to #TravelThursday by +Laura Mitchum.

Cute alarm. My contribution today to #WildlifeWednesday which is curated by +Mike Spinak is a cute female coastal grizzly bear, photographed along the British Columbia coast, Canada.
We were out on one of my custom photo tours and saw this sow with two cubs coming down from the forest to the beach. They started rolling around rocks looking for crabs and other small animals they could eat but probably because the tide was not out enough mom grizzly decided to have a rest first.
It was majorly cute when she put her feet on the rock to have a rest. The two cubs were playing in the meantime. Later they started foraging again, rolling around big boulders.
Cute cute cute.

I scanned one of my 6x17cm panos for you last night to contribute to #travelpanowednesday which is curated by myself.
A single tree standing in a large field of red poppies in Apulia, Southern Italy. It really shows a typical landscape for down there in spring, just before the big heat comes and everything gets very very dry.
What caught my eye the most was of course the single tree and the poppies but I also liked the color contrast with the lush green hillside in the background.
Photographed with a Fuji 617 in format 6x7cm on Fuji Velvia film, then scanned with the Hasselblad X5 (Imacon) scanner. Had to do a bit of dust cleaning but beside there was not a lot I had to do with processing - just the regular stuff.

Today for #NatureMonday which I cured myself another shot from New Zealand.
It is a aerial photo of the summit of Franz Josef Glacier (Ka Roimata o Hinehukatere in Māori) in the Southern Alps of New Zealand. I photographed many glaciers from the air but this one was very impressive. Massive ice breaks and flows, hard to imagine the size of those "ice cubes" in the picture unless you were on the flight.
It seems to take forever to fly over those cracks in the ice - a very impressive experience.
I also want to contribute this image to #MountainMonday curated by +Michael Russell.

Today I want to show you one of my favorite pictures of a humpback whale fluke during a golden sunset in the Strait of Belle Isle off the Newfoundland Labrador coast.
I want to contribute it to a few themes but first of all to #PhotoStorySaturday by +Dave Beckerman.
The story behind this pictures is worth mentioning, I for sure will never forget this adventure. I actually was in Newfoundland to photograph two things, icebergs and whales and of course in the combi. I was based on the Northern Peninsula, which is away from the big city lights. Actually it is the place where you still get the real Newfy feeling, everybody is relaxed and time seems to stand still. Well, also because of this it is not that easy just to go out, rent a boat and go. With a good friend of mine, the owner of Tuckamore Lodge, I was able to get a old friend of her to take me... more »

Gosh, is it Friday again?? Seems like that time goes twice as fast after you have been sick for a while, I have not even caught up with everything yet.
My contribution today to #FlowingWaterFriday which is curated by +Kate Church and myself. The pimage is a ripple wave photo at sunset from the Pacific Ocean. I normally don't do too much abstract photos but when we out photographing whales late in the day I often go crazy with water, ripples and waves. The reflections are always unique and because we very often have many clouds there are always many different shades of color and shadows too.
The colors on this photo are typical for very late summer and fall for the northern part of Vancouver Island in british Columbia, Canada. So I think this picture also fits #FourSeasonsFriday which is curated by +Karin Nelson and +Stephonie Ogden.

It is a long exposure of the incoming tide along the kaikoura Peninsula in New Zealand at sunset. I found the rock formations especially attractive because of the layers they showed.
I needed a neutral grad to bring down the sky a bit and to make sure I got enough details in the rocks. I know many like to have super contrasty pictures, I prefer to show more of the details in the "normally" kept dark places of a image.
This region around Kaikoura on the South Island of New Zealand is one of my favorite places to photograph. It is one of the best spots world wide to watch sperm whales which come fairly close to shore here. This coastline goes very fast very deep.
I want to contribute this photo today to #ThirstyThursdayPics by +Giuseppe Basile,... more »

LED displays using local dim tech can be unevenly worn using this function. See my posts in the thread below, I explain how it can happen quite well.
Here is a short version of my posts.
They actually age faster than most plasma sets (half life of current LED displays is 50k hours (and use phosphor coating), back when plasma lasted that long, uneven wear became a problem in around 3 years of average TV watching. (black bar content) and will start to show uneven wear quite a bit sooner than your average plasma. (which are now up to around 100k hours to half life)
Now Sony is using a RGB LED display, if they aren't phosphor coated then you might see a reduction of uneven wear, but it would still be a factor as all light sources age and dim over time and LED local dim will cause the LED array to age at a different pace.
